 "Linde to continue supply of carbon monoxide to Celanese in Singapore")
Linde Gas Singapore, a subsidiary of The Linde Group’s Gases Division, has signed an agreement with Celanese as per which Linde will continue to supply carbon monoxide to Celanese’s operations on Jurong Island, Singapore, for the production of acetic acid. The agreement enables both parties’ sustainable future operations in Singapore.
Sanjiv Lamba, chief operating officer for Linde’s Asia Pacific business said, “Celanese is one of our key global customers and we have been supplying Celanese’s carbon monoxide requirements in Singapore for more than 10 years. The new agreement underscores our commitment to Singapore and the Asia Pacific region, and in particular, to our customers in Singapore.”
Linde Gas Singapore operates one of the largest gasification plants in Asia Pacific, producing gaseous hydrogen and carbon monoxide, as well as a high performance air separation unit. Celanese began its Singapore acetic acid operations in 2000, and has been supplied by Linde since 2004 when Linde acquired the gasification facility and the air separation unit from a multinational energy company.
“Over the last several years, Celanese has focused on enhancing its acetyl chain operating model to ensure it can be competitive in this challenging market environment. This new agreement with Linde advances our ability to improve the flexibility of our acetic acid business,” stated Patrick Quarles, president, acetyl chain and integrated supply chain for Celanese.
